Get Stuff Done: Tapping into the Power of the Bitchface

"Bitches get stuff done!" Tina Fey said in a famous SNL sketch, during Hilary Clinton's campaign for presidency in 2008. BITCH IS THE NEW BLACK.

Some people don't like the term bitch. I'm all about full disclosure, so here is my opinion: Every unique individual gets to decide what words they like or dislike. Some girls don't love the word bitch. I happen to adore it. If you disagree, please know that I respect you and your opinion.

I love the word BITCH, which brings me to my topic: the bitchface.

My bitchface. WORKIN' IT.

There is great tutorial from Rookie (a badass website for teenage girls) about how to bitchface HERE!

To me, the bitchface is my serious face. It's a face that says: I've got to get shit done. Pardon me, while I kick your ass, life. Move aside, homies, this bitch is coming through.

There is power in the bitchface. 

Situations in which I use the bitchface:
-project grind time/procrastination peak
-dealing with assholes
-working out
-cutting out negative people in my life
-when I listen to Beyonce
-after destroying a test I studied for

Something interesting about our body language is that our nonverbal cues can dictate what people think of us, but research is also proving it can determine how we think of ourselves. That's to say, I put on my bitchface for me. It helps my brain know that I mean SERIOUS business and SHIT IS GETTING DONE.

How to Use the Bitchface for Productivity:
1. Get to feeling good.
I put on makeup (signature: heavy cat eyeliner) for myself. It makes me feel like Cleopatra, like I'm about to seriously change the political spheres of the ancient world when in reality I'm just cleaning my bathroom.

2. Get that face going.
I can FEEL the bitchface when I've got it going on. It takes one listen of "How to be a Heartbreaker" by Marina and the Diamons and OH BABY, move out of the way.

3. Get to your stuff.
 Start your work. Whether it's a project, cleaning your room, or powering through a homework assignment: DO IT. You will never get stuff done without starting.

4. Plan appropriate breaks.
Bitchfacing can be taxing on your energy levels. Enhance your productivity by taking breaks every half-hour. I break to blog, stalk Facebook, or refill my coffee while talking to my cats. (FYI: if you need help with the bitchface, talk to a cat. They are the BEST at it.)

5. Celebrate when you're done.
Dance around, call a friend to chat, or eat a yummy treat.

And that my friends is how to bitchface your way to efficient productivity.
